The claims of Nico Roseburg have been rejected by Lewis Hamilton. The claim of Nico Roseburg stated that Lewis Hamilton compromised on his team-mate of Mercedes during the Chinese Grand Prix. German Nico Roseburg said that Lewis Hamilton was driving very slow which was regarded as unnecessary. Nico felt that he was doing so for backing his team-mate for chasing Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari. According to Roseburg this act by Lewis Hamilton was totally frustrating and also was putting an unnecessary pressure. In answer to this whole claim, Lewis Hamilton denied it and said, “That’s absolutely not the case. I wasn’t trying to back him up into Sebastian because ultimately we do need a one-two and that is a priority to the team. If he wanted to get close to overtake he could have done. I’m not really quite sure what his problem is. We came here to get one-two and we did. There shouldn’t be too much agro really.”
Roseburg further on added in regard to discussing it with the team, “Of course we will have a discussion and we will see how it goes,”
It is the most recent in a progression of blaze focuses that have tried the relationship between the two drivers, particularly since the group turned into the sport’s pace-setters towards the beginning of a year ago, including an accident finally August’s Belgian Grand Prix. Roseburg’s worry in Shanghai was that by bringing Vettel closer than he expected to be, it made Mercedes defenseless against an endeavor by Ferrari to either pass Roseburg by preventing first and profiting from crisp tires – called undercutting – or by compelling Roseburg to do a more drawn out last spell than his tires could adapt to. Vettel did make a sooner than planned last stop, yet Mercedes had the capacity to handle it. Roseburg said, “It compromised my race massively at the time because the best possible race for Lewis was to back me off into Vettel so Vettel would try to undercut me and I would have to respond. It was very frustrating Lewis was taking it as easy on his tires. Interestingly, he said he was just thinking about himself and that says it all. There wasn’t any intention from Lewis to slow Nico down in order to make him finish third or worse, 100%. He didn’t know the gaps behind Nico. What he knew was that he had to take that tire longer than we had ever run it the whole weekend. This is why he decided to slow down in the way he did”
The whole situation and claim imposed by Roseburg has been denied totally.
